products. Grounded in runner needs, business priorities, and technical realities, you will partner with
business and technical leaders to create a streamlined, performant, and scalable platform that enables
teams to build, deploy, and operate solutions efficiently.

You will be an effective communicator of objectives and priorities in a persuasive manner that builds
support, consensus, and commitment across cross-functional teams to execute our product, platform,

and enhancements that solve customer problems and deliver value to the business.

    integral to how runners find, engage with, and interact with Brooks.
  • Lead discovery and problem definition for foundation and platform capabilities before committing to
    delivery.
  • Make clear, data-informed prioritization and tradeoff decisions across competing business and
